LONGMONT -- A Longmont woman pleaded for her life in the moments before her ex-boyfriend shot and killed her early Tuesday morning.

Daniel Sanchez told a Weld County dispatcher moments after the fatal gunshot that he killed three people -- his ex-girlfriend, her sister and her sister's husband -- and would turn the gun on himself, as well. And then he did.

"No, no, please, no, no," Beatriz Cintora-Silva, 25, said just before a gunshot is heard during her desperate 4 a.m. 911 call for help. Sanchez then talks to the dispatcher before taking his own life.

Weld County deputies found four bodies at a home at 11464 Hot Springs in the Longview subdivision east of Longmont early Tuesday morning after they responded to Cintora-Silva's call.

Weld County Sheriff John Cooke confirmed at a 3:30 p.m. news conference Tuesday that Daniel Sanchez, 31, shot and killed his ex-girlfriend, Beatriz Cintora-Silva, 25, who had been staying with her sister and brother-in-law at the home after she left Sanchez on Thanksgiving following a physical fight. Sanchez also shot and killed the couple, Maria Cintora-Silva, 22, and Max Aguirre Ojeda, 32.

At about 4 a.m., Sanchez shot out the back door of the modular home, located in a neighborhood off Colo. Highway 119 east of Longmont, Cooke said. He had been released at 10 p.m. Monday from the Boulder County Jail, where he was booked on Sunday on domestic-violence related charges stemming from a Saturday incident with Beatriz Cintora-Silva. She told police he physically assaulted her and kidnapped her after she met with him to discuss repayment of money she had loaned him.

Cooke said on Tuesday afternoon that Beatriz Cintora-Silva had been warned not to remain with her sister and brother-in-law since Sanchez knew where she was and that she turned down an offer of additional police protection. He said she was notified when he was released on bond.

Six hours later, all four were shot dead.

Sanchez, who identified himself as Pablo Sanchez, spoke to the 911 dispatcher after he shot his ex-girlfriend and said he did so because she cheated on him.

"I just shot everybody right now," he said. "And myself. I'm gonna shoot myself right now." The dispatcher tried to keep him on the phone asking him to wait until police arrived, saying, "Pablo, yeah, just stay with me. Just don't shoot yourself."

He briefly accused Beatriz Cintora-Silva of cheating and offered details. Sanchez told the 911 dispatcher that he drove to the home and was by himself. Another noise is heard in the background and the dispatcher can be heard saying, "I think he just shot himself."

Police recovered 16 spent shell casings and three unspent ones at the Longview Estates home, along with two clips. Each clip holds 13 bullets, Cooke said. Sanchez apparently shot out the back door of the home to get in. Cooke said Sanchez and Beatriz Cintora-Silva's bodies were found in one bedroom, and the couple's bodies were in another bedroom.

Police searched Sanchez's home at 174 Mount Massive Way and recovered a gun case with a serial number that matched the .45 Glock found at the scene, Cooke added.

Joyce and George Vibbert, who live cater-corner from the Longview Estates home, said they heard gunshots early Tuesday morning. Joyce Vibbert said she heard the shots at 4:13 a.m. and rushed to a window, but that window does not look out on the home where the shots were fired.

The Vibberts said Maria Cintaro-Silva and Ojeda had lived in the home for about three months and that the husband had come over to borrow his leaf blower.

George Vibbert said the couple recently were married and planned to have children in the next year.

Leslie McGill, who lives near the home at Hot Springs and Big Bend streets, said she did not know the people who lived in the home.

"I got a phone call this morning from a relative saying, 'I just needed to hear your voice,'" she said. "The big thing is I don't know how I'm going to tell my son about this after the school shootings and now the shooting here."

As another neighbor walked by, McGill said, "I just wanted to make sure you're OK. We may not know each other by name, but when I heard the cross streets..."

Arlette Pixley, who lives one block east of the home where the shooting took place, said her mother heard noises in the morning.

"My mom said she was up at about 4. She heard a pop, pop, pop, but didn't think anything of it," she said.

Pixley said that sometimes she hears hunters' gunshots from a nearby field, but that's typically on Sunday mornings, she said.

"It's a pretty quiet neighborhood. We usually hear the traffic on the highway," she said.
